About Me

a true band of friends, the brothers comatose have their roots deeply seeded in wine fueled jam sessions in their parent's livingrooms. for well over a decade, gio on bass, alex on banjo, ben on guitar and joe on mandolin have been playing music they love for friends, family, fans, themselves and anyone who happens to be within earshot. using a traditional bluegrass lineup with non-traditional techniques, the brothers comatose draw on creativity and a wide timeline of influences to create an upbeat, truthful style of music that is truly their own.
